In a hospital, lives are saved or lost long before patients’ treatment plans are written and implemented. Planning is Impersonal. Stefan Swanepoel advises leaders to “see the whole [chess] board” strategy-wise. Are you a leader tasked with planning for routine operations along with the response when routines are disrupted in ways big or small? Then you need to remember that success, in Swanepoel’s words, “isn’t just the next move – it’s what you do three, four, even 10 steps after that rea

The following is a guest piece by Stanford professor Dr. Leah Weiss. Modern leadership training is being taken over by a clever but misguided trend. One that’s filled with yoga rooms and entertainment-infused buffet lunches. It’s a train that many corporations are jumping onto, but the intent is often confused and therefore the execution is weak. The idea that organizations will successfully attract the best talent by peddling a laid-back compassionate culture is bound to fail.

Think about the last time you made a big purchase like a car, a major appliance or a mattress. With the possible exception of the car, there’s a pretty good chance you bought the product online after reading a lot of customer reviews. Why was that the case? Of course, one reason is that Amazon and other online retailers make it really easy to buy things online.

The following is an excerpt from of Culture Wins: The Roadmap to an Irresistible Workplace. How I Accidentally Discovered Our Company’s Staff Values. There’s a lot of old-school thinking about vision. One school of thought says the leader’s role is to find the vision for the company: Go off on vacation, on a personal retreat, or as my pastor friends would say, “Go off to the mountain and come back down with two stone tablets with all the values written down, Ten Commandments style.

Guest post from Mark Busine: Would you describe your company’s CEO as Wonder Woman, or your executive vice president as Batman? Do the regional managers remind you of the Fantastic Four? I’d guess it’s unlikely that you think of your leadership team in this way. So you might be surprised when I say that many companies including yours are following a Superhero leadership strategy.

What a great discussion question for the book club group: with what skill would you imbue all leaders for success and why? This was a thought-provoking topic. The playing field for answers is wide. (And there was the word imbue , which is one of this word geek’s favs.) My response? The ability to not destroy curiosity. While many CEO’s say curiosity is a necessary leadership skill, my experience has been that most organizations work overtime, covertly and inadvertently, to stamp out curiosity.

While there have been several shifts in the employment landscape throughout the last decade, none were perhaps as attention-grabbing as the increasing fleet of remote workers. Just a few years ago, the idea of being able to work right in the comforts of your humble abode would have seemed out of reach. Nowadays, however, it’s fairly common to find job postings that list “remote work” as a perk to encourage more applications.

Too often, people tend to solve problems by taking two divergent directions: They think of an idea — and zip off in that direction with no real assessment or planning. Measure once, cut twice. They over-analyze their problem to death without taking action. Analysis-Paralysis. The hardest part of any initiative or project is usually getting everyone on-board - mentally and physically.

Last month we had the opportunity to sit down (virtually) with Marcella Bremer to talk about her work in developing a positive culture in the workplace, her new book, Developing a Positive Culture , and the Positive Culture Academy (classes start April 2nd). Q. How long have you been focusing on a positive culture in the workplace? I’ve been working with culture for more than 20 years, but the focus on a positive culture dates from the last 5 years or so.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

It's not only what you know. It's who you know. And more importantly, who knows you. Too often, when I first start coaching high-performing executives, they wonder why they are not moving up as fast as their colleagues. They observe key influencers in their organization, but they don't reach out and engage them. They might even be in meetings with these influencers, they might even talk to them — but when the meeting is over, they're a past memory.
